November 14th 2005

Monday Gym Session.

Players: Bea, Max, Daryl, me.

This was probably my last session for a while, due to my knee. I'm a bit
frustrated, since I'm so addicted to footbag I wonder what I shall do without playing the next months. Watch videos, and see my club
progress while I sit on my fat ass at home :/ Naw, I'll try to swim as much
as possible, strengthening my knee muscles. Physio Therapy starts tomorrow,
and I'll have acupuncture sessions soon, too.

Here's what I hit:

Parkwalk>Pdx DLO
4 Ducking Butterflies

and more, but I will comment tomorrow.

Yesterday my physio-therapist told me that I most definately suffer from
a patellar tendon inflammation, right at the tip where the kneecap ends.
So it seems the cartilage in my knee seems to be ok.

But - it means I may have to rest for 3-4 months before it is healed completely. :cry:

So, definately no footbag before spring 2006 for me.

Where's Daryl? Haven't seen many posts from him lately.

Anyway. After having watched the more than excellent Berlin&on tour 2005 video
from Max Kerkhoff, I was so inspired to shred, especially
after Felix' section. So I put on my knee bandage, did a warmup
record of 115 kicks ( :oops: ), and see how far I could go.

I hit some pretty nice combos! I'm pretty stoked and it feels so good
to have played again, I miss footbag so much.


Stepping same Osis>Torque

Stepping Same Osis>Far Butterfly>Stepping Osis>Pdx Mirage>Dimwalk

Flip Pixie same Osis>same Legover>Pixie same Osis>same Legover>Butterfly>Infinity>Torque

another Torque>Torque

woot I can still do it.-

March 13th 2006

Solo-Session at the Olympiabad, because nobody showed up.

Focused on getting more solid, had a lot of interest from spectators and
gave out website adress a couple of times.

Ken's answer on the question "Can you do this with a real ball?" works wonders - "You don't ask a table-tennis player if he can do this with
a tennis ball, do you?".

Hit a couple of Drifters!

and:

Drifter>Drifter!

and

Pixie ss Drifter!

Last Thursday Max, Bea, Nora and me went to the RTL2 TV-Studios
for a children's show called "Pokito TV", who did two 5-minute shows
about Footbag. It was quite improvised, and we didn't get to shred
as much as we would've liked to - but they asked a lot of questions,
and we did well, I think. Max forgot his G-Units, but managed to play with
the unmodded pair he had taken with him.
For the second show we showed some Net, which was really funny because
the space was super-small, and they even wanted us to play 2 on 2 there
(the space was not even half the size of a normal Net field).


The show is aimed at 8-13 year olds, it's pretty trendy and flashy and
all that, with topics like Anime, Yu-Gi-Oh and stuff like that.. still, it's
gonna be some exposure once they broadcast it (they said somewhen around june).

Outdoor shred. Max, Bea, Daryl, me.

Everybody was playing well - Daryl, Max and Bea had some awesome
combos.

I finally hit

Ripwalk>Ripwalk (twice)
and some combos with lots of stepping moves - it gets better and better.
Still, I somehow hurt a nerve in my back. I have to learn how to move
my back while shredding.

Relaxed Session at Luitpoldpark with Max

Yeah that session was nice. I love relaxed 1-on-1 sessions.

I hit:

225 kicks (personal best)
Stepping ss clipper bsos
flip pixie midrun comes better, hit flip pixie ss pickup midrun
stepping ss clipper>pixie clipper>shmoe>run
ducking clipper>far symp rev whirl>pdx mirage>run

my run length was very good today and I had some runs over 15 contacts.
best tiltless was 26 today. I will try to focus on run length in the future.
my control comes back and gets better, too.

Too bad Daryl didn't show up.

Olympiabad-Jam.

Players: Max, Bea, Daryl and me.

Everybody was on fire.

Bea was going crazy - Lots of 15+ runs with stepping all over the place; Sidewalk>Ripwalk>rpt and more insane stuff. Daryl and Max were busting
hard as usual - watch out for their write-ups. Max is so consistant these days; it so much fun to watch him go. Same goes for Bea and Daryl.

As for me, I hit some nifty new combos too:

15-18 guiltless with Pdx DLO, lots of DLOs, flip PLO>Dimwalk, Ripwalk etc
Rev Whirl>Torque>Infinity
Blur>Tap
Shmoe>Tap
Blur>Dimwalk>Flip Shmoe
Eggbeater>Dimwalk>run with flip Dimwalk
Butter>Ripwalk bsos
Pixie Ducking Pickup
Ducking Clipper>Ducking Clipper>Ripwalk>run
PS Mirage bs

and some more combos I don't remember.
Footbag!
